There are NOT 2.2 pounds in a kilogram. 
Any teacher who makes such a statement is misleading you, and
putting things into your head that will be tough to get rid of later.

2.2 pounds is the approximate WEIGHT of 1 kilogram of MASS
on Earth.  The SAME KILOGRAM of mass weighs about 5.8 ounces
on the Moon, and about 11.8 ounces on Mars.

If a boy's mass is 40 kg, then he weighs about 29.2 pounds on Mars,
about 14.7 pounds on the Moon, and about 89 pounds on Earth.

"Height" doesn't belong anywhere in this question.

The simplest way to do this is to set up equivalent fractions, like this- 

\frac{1}{2.2} = \frac{40}{x}

Solve for x by using cross multiplication.

40*2.2= 88
1*x=88
x=88

Therefore, the boy weighs 88lbs.

A motorist driving at 25 meters/second decelerates to
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Work done = 0.5*m*[(v2)^2 - (v1)^2]
where m is mass,
v2 and v1 are the velocities.

Given that m = 1.50 x 10^3 kg, v2 = -15 m/s (decelerates), v1 = 25 kg,

Work done = 0.5 * 1.50 x 10^3 * ((-15)^2 - 25^2) = 3 x 10^5 joules

Just ignore the negative value for the final result because work is a scalar quantity.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

1992 (Early 1990s)

Explanation:

First of all, i would like to define an extrasolar planet as a planet that orbits a start that is not our own.

The first confirmed detections of extrasolar planets occured in the early 1990s (specifically 1992, some say 1995). The name of the first extrasolar planet is widely believed to be called Dimidium or 51 Pegasi b.  

Extrasolar were searched by monitoring stars for slight dimming that might occur as unseen planets pass in front of them.

Total internal reflection occurs when the angle of incidence
laiz [17]
Total internal reflection complete reflection of a ray of light within a medium such as water or glass from the surrounding surfaces back into the medium. The phenomenon occurs if the angle of incidence is greater than a certain limiting angle, called the critical angle.

A charge of 90 C passes through a wire in 1 hour 15 minutes . what is the current in the wire
timurjin [86]
We calculate current from the formula:
I= \frac{q}{t} , where q is a electric charge transferred over time t 
Time should be converted to seconds:
1h 15 min= 75min= 4500s
I=\frac{90C}{4500s}=0,02A Result is in unit-Ampere
